Check for updates yourself

If your Chromebook finds a software update, it will start to download automatically.

Note: To see which version of the Chrome operating system your Chromebook is using, look under "Google Chrome OS."

What information goes to Google when you update

When your Chromebook checks for updates, it sends some information to Google, like the computer’s version number and language. This information isn't associated with you or your Google Account.

Fix problems with updates

If your system update won’t download, try the steps below. Test your Chromebook after each step to see if the problem is fixed.

Check if your Chromebook is using mobile data. It could be tethered to your cell phone, or connected to its own mobile data. To download the system update, disconnect from mobile data and connect to Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
